What browser do you use and why?

[katwoman]

I can't spell to save myself.
Have a dictionary always next to the computer, sooooooooo my suggestion would be either a general spell check or a little spell check box that the word could be typed into to see if its correct.
I know this wont stop typos but I would have a better chance to keep up in N/S better and not having to check the dictionary all the time!!
I like to see the words spelt correctly but I just can't do it!!!
Not a very technical request but more a personal one.


My 3 cents worth!

HAHA, you're gonna need more than spellcheck to keep up with N/S...pml

I use google chrome browser. It underlines words that are spelled incorrectly and all you have to do is right click the word and it gives you suggestions on which word you want to use.
Much better then any other browser I used

Haha, just download it here: http://www.google.com/chrome/
Then just install it on your computer and use chrome. Install is very easy, just say yes to everything and hit next on everything and Bob's your uncle :)

Resource hungry, slow and overated
I used to use Firefox for years and the first few versions were quite speedy and light on resources but not any more.
Everyone's got different application for their browser and I just want a no frills browser for browsing the internet..that's it.

Can you turn on spell check in Firefox? I am using 4.0.1

not 100% sure as i am using minefield, but i think my other machine still has the original Firefox on it. Just hang 20years while the coals get hot enough 2 get the old girl going.

I though spell check was more a windows thing rather than browsers.....

I down loaded Google Chrome and the spell check worked straight away so hope there is a box to tick in Firefox Thanks Toddrhind

[Maxhead]

What have you done Todd!! I went to check out the new versions and I actually downloaded the Firefox Nightly 6.0a1 and it looks OK. Nice light package which is comparable to Chrome

[fixer982]

So no-one uses IE9 then..............................

I use firefox as it's a reasonable light browser (not as light as chrome) but firefox still allows me access to a heap of addons etc, it's also probably the most security minded browser out there which is peace of mind. I've always found it to be fast unlike IE which I just hate with a passion lol depends on your needs I guess.
Chrome for the folks who like something basic to view webpages and firefox for someone who likes added functionalilty

[AB]

I still use IE as I am lazy and stubborn and don't like to change...lol...Kind of like the old saying "the plumbers own plumbing is poor" so the computer guys computer programs are old...lol

IE is actually the most suitable browser for you Andy, its the most compatible when it comes to content management running this forum- if that's the way you do it anyway.

[big_fletch]

When I'm on my computer I use FireFox (its the best)..
90% of the time I'm on my phone though lol

[Bob]

Up until the latest release I used Firefox but the new version does not allow the Norton Toolbar which i use quite a lot.
Now back to IE until Firefox get there Act together

Hi Bob
what version of firefox are you using? Im using 4.0.1
And what version of Norton are you running? Im using Norton Internet Security 2011

Everything works fine for me using the toolbar.
maybe there is an update you could try on the two to get things working again?
Let me know if you'd like a hand

[sierraKilo]

I use Konqueror and Firefox. As I am a Linux user I would not lower myself to use IE.

[belzi82]

I use firefox at home and exploxer at work - prefer firefox

[Clunk]

[mcjah]
